[QUOTE="Malc, post: 626928, member: 13535"] It probably won't come as a surprise to hear that I was the problem... Took no. 1+2 cylinder head off this afternoon, this time I measured the original deck height carefully : about 2.5 mm, so that works out at about 7 5 to 1, as expected. So now I hope that the problem I saw with the new pistons and cylinders was also user error, probably not taking care that I had the cylinder really properly pushed into the crankcase when I checked the clearance... Keeping my fingers crossed for when I fit the next new pair of cylinders and check the deck height again (but carefully this time) [/QUOTE]
